Double IPA's are featured in this monthly drinking episode. We also announce our new We Like Drinking Facebook group, and a new contest where we are giving away an Ecovessel BOSS growler to 2 lucky listeners.

Emma Donachie is the Channel Sales manager for Ecovessel, makers of the BOSS, the stainless steel, triple insulated growler that will keep your craft beer cold for up to 36 hours, or your drink hot for 8.

Greg Morthole is a winemaker with Davis Bynum wines, a member of the Rodney Strong family. If that names sounds familiar, he was a guest on episode 151 where we learned about his history coming up through the world of wine geekery to where he is today, and he’s back for more tonight.

Tom Lutz is the founder and inventor of RePour, a unique wine preservation cork that absorbs the oxygen right out of your opened bottle. With a doctorate in chemistry and a career in product development, his career has been around innovation and bringing new products to market.

Lori Budd, along with her husband, Michael, are the owners of the award winning boutique winery, Dracaena Wines located in beautiful Paso Robles, CA. They focus on Cabernet Franc and are expanding their lineup to include a reserve Cab Franc, and later this year their first rose. She is also the founder of #CabFrancDay on Twitter, a blogger, and the host of her own podcast, Dracaena Wines.

Annie Wolf-Pautsch first appeared on WLD back in episode 86, and since then we’ve barely been able to make it 20 episodes without having her back on the show. Her company, “Brew Cruz” offers guided tours of the craft brewery scene in beautiful Santa Cruz CA via a refurbished 1989 Thomas International Bus, but wait there’s more…..that we’ll be talking about soon enough. Hopefully she is not suffering from a walking injury this time around as we welcome her back for her 5th time on the show.
